Welcome to the first edition of the AI’s Human Touch Newsletter. I hope you enjoy reading these bits of content as much as I enjoyed writing them.

I'll be mixing stuff I've written myself and interesting things I've found on the internet.

And don't worry, I'll be sure to give my own take on them, so you can tell what's really worth your time and what's just noise

Saved on a designer

Musk's new company, X (formerly known as Twitter?), may have simply chosen a font for their logo, thus saving money that would have otherwise been spent on a designer to create a more elaborate design… EW below:

Last week’s choice

📺: Renowned content creation expert, Julia McCoy from Content Scale, dives into the future for us, writers, in the AI era in a remarkable Live Talk.

Here are my main bite-sized takeaways:

• 🧠 even if you use AI to create content, highlight personal experiences in line with Google's "EAT" principle (Experience, Expertise, Authority, Trust).

• 🤖 google's algorithm now includes an "experience" component, readying for the rise in AI-generated content after OpenAI's ChatGPT launch.

• 🔍 keyword research is still king in SEO. Use tools like Semrush, Ahrefs, or Keyword Finder.

• 📚 go beyond surface-level and create deep, engaging content. Bonus points for supplementing it with video content!

• 😨82% of marketers believe genAI content is as good as human-generated (are they wrong??)

• 🚫 avoid publishing raw AI-generated content; editing is key! (Or you could simply fall back on the unchecked AI content, A.K.A. garbage machines, out there – but do so at your own risk! 😉)
